Comments
This type has three main variant in portrait type:
TYPE 1723 and TYPE 1724 are both made by Johann Carl Hedlinger and are quite the same except for the ornaments on the chest of King's armor that are lightly different and the shulder ribbons that are more complex in 1724 type. More type 1723 has an edge ring clearly visible that is absent in type 1724
TYPE 1726 made by engraver Daniel Haesling. Different from Hedlinger's portraits. Again this type have the edge ring.
